Peak Twins - Steppin' Off 7" (Bedroom Suck Records)

$9.99

"Was not sure what to expect heading into this one. I was guessing either
Spacemen 3-esque drone or schticky retro-New Wave based on the
appearance of the sleeve. For the record, I actually like this band's
name. The music is a bit of a surprise - "Steppin' Off" is a sort of
riff on Fifties radio rock and Brit-pop in a roundabout way - like Oasis
covering Roy Orbison or something. Very quaint. The B-Side is a downer
called "China White", very lush sounding and straddling the line between
AOR schmaltz and slightly psychedelic pop. It's a bummer, that's for
sure. I liked this more than I was expecting to, but that's still not
enough for me to recommend you seek it out. An interesting angle, but
not enough substance to make it more than that." - TERMINAL BOREDOM (RK)

"Peak Twins are Joel Carey and Liam Kenny. Their engineer and producer
is Jack Farley and their regular backing group is Chad McLachlan, James
Mannix and Ben Quici. Their song writing is informed by the voices of
Julee Cruise, Mick Jagger and Roy Orbison.

Steppin’ Off is the first single from Peak Twins’ upcoming debut LP on BSR. This is the beginning." - Bedroom Suck Records
